...problem is not the overblown cry that professors are forced to "publish or perish." Most of the good teachers, in fact, cannot resist publishing; they have something they want to say to the world beyond their classrooms. Every teacher needs time to reflect and explore the frontiers of his field if he is to keep his teaching fresh. But whether all kinds of research always help teaching is problematical. Too often, says University of Utah English Chairman Kenneth Eble, scholarly magazines are established merely so that they can be "sent to editors of other magazines," and the scholar's great...
Total Confusion. For all that, the court's voluntariness doctrine lacked any objective test and turned instead on subjective appraisal of the "totality of the circumstances." In each case, the court tried to reconstruct the suspect's ability to resist the forces arrayed against him. The results were confusing. To weigh "totality," the court developed no fewer than 38 criteria, such as whether police conduct "shocked the conscience." In two cases similar to Escobedo, police barred the suspects' lawyers; one confession came after seven hours, the other after twelve. While voiding the first, the court upheld...
...Durable Blackball. Critics of fraternities contend that they are anachronistic because today's college students tend to be serious about scholarship, scoff at any pretentions to status, consider secret rituals something for Klans or kids, resist togetherness, applaud all moves toward individual equality. Despite official pressure against racial discrimination, the blackball system, which forfeits membership control to the most prejudiced among a chapter's members, still keeps most fraternities segregated. In the 42,000-enrollment at the University of Minnesota, not a single Negro belongs to any fraternity except all-Negro Alpha Phi Alpha. There are no Negro...
...ABROAD The Uninfected They wear tight blue jeans or pants that bell at the bottom. Their hair flows in ringlets over shirt collars. They strum cowboy tunes on guitars, favor English phrases such as "Hello, baby" and "Love me, do." They claim to be alienated from their elders and resist any form of ideological indoctrination. In short, many students in Eastern Europe are surprisingly like U.S. campus rebels. In Prague a fortnight ago, 400 educators, including a dozen Westerners, met in a conference sponsored by Czechoslovakia's Red regime to talk about why the Communist culture fails to grab...
...kinds of artful camouflage. Some are disguising the unseemly with ruffles; others propose nylon bloomers and all-in-one outfits with built-in bra and legs like Jamaica shorts. If all this seems too much, the well-dressed woman can simply take her stand against the rising hemline and resist. But she may soon find herself in a dwindling minority. Dress Designer Mainbocher speaks comfortingly of "client length," but he admits that his skirts are a full inch shorter than last year, now just shadow the knee. And even Mrs. Wil liam Paley, secure in the Best-Dressed Hall...
